According to the literature, the prevalence of impacted tooth has been estimated between 8% and 38% in different countries, with a female predilection. An impacted tooth can cause carious lesions, infection, destruction of adjacent teeth, periodontal disease and even oral and maxillofacial cysts or tumors. It has been found that cystic or neoplastic lesions arise in close proximity to the impacted tooth in 16% of cases, most often during the second and third decades of life.

Learning Objectives :

Perform an early diagnosis of cystic and tumor lesions through radiographic studies (Panoramics, Tomography), biopsy and preparation of a treatment plan appropriate to the pathology.
